It's really great to meet you. Did you know blue flames are really, really hot? I think there are other ways to make our flames blue too. Let's find out together!
We can use the scientific method, just like Hiccup! We'll use 5 steps of the scientific method: problem, research, hypothesis, procedure, and result.
The problem is the scientific question that will be tested in the experiment.
We'll need to figure out some chemical reactions to change fire color! Our next task is to do a little research. Research is the step in the scientific method where you find out information that's already known about the problem you're testing.
You can research things by talking to others about their experiences with the items we need to test. A list of the materials we need for our experiment will be found in your Quest Log. You'll need to get these rocks from Astrid, Fishlegs and Snotlout here at the school.
Fishlegs Ingerman at your service. I was so excited when Meatlug and I found this tolbachite by the volcano! It was kind of scary with steam and gas everywhere. You can have my last piece!
'Sup? I'm Snotlout, master of awesome. Hookfang and I found this sylvite at our secret training island! Cool, huh? It's really rare but I'll let you have it for your experiment. Just remember, you couldn't have done this without me!
Now that we have done our research and collected facts about our testing materials, we need to form our hypothesis. The hypothesis is an educated guess about how you think your experiment will turn out.
Great work! You proved your hypothesis to be true/false. Your results are the outcome of the experiment. You'll use them to analyze, or figure out, the conclusion at the end of each experiment.
I understand! Now I need to find some tolbachite to relight the blue fires. Thanks, [Your Viking's Name]! You've been a great help. I would give you the very bucket on my head, but I need it.
